A 45-year-old tailor, identified only as Fasasi, has allegedly seized the underwear and clothes of a 16-year-old girl after raping her in the Agege area of Lagos.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the teenager, Comfort (pseudonym), who was a Secondary School Class 1 pupil, was allegedly raped by Fasasi when she ran an errand for her mother.

Our correspondents gathered that Fasasi, who had been arrested by the police, reportedly called the girl and asked her to also buy food for him while she ran the errand for her mother.

Fasasi was said to have led the teenager to his room, when she requested his plate, and allegedly asked her to remove her clothes and underwear.

It was gathered that the tailor allegedly packed the underwear and the clothes away and raped Comfort.

When Fasasi reportedly refused to return her underwear and clothes after the rape, the girl was said to have fled the room. It was learnt that one of the suspect’s neighbours noticed the girl and came to her rescue.

The matter was said to have been reported at the Isokoko Police Division, and Fasasi was arrested.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, Comfort said Fasasi threatened to stab her to death with a knife if she raised the alarm.
She added that when the suspect refused to return her clothes after the rape, she fled the room with one of his wrappers.

She said, “It was on April 19, 2015, at about 5pm. My mother and I live on Shaiba Street in the Agege area. I had never gone to the tailor’s house before. I did not know he was a rapist.

“On the fateful day, he asked me to follow him inside his room to get the plates that I would use to buy food for him. Once I entered the room, he immediately locked the door behind him. He then brought out a knife and threatened to kill me if I did not UnCloth.

“I begged him, but he did not listen. I was scared that he would kill me, so I obeyed. But after removing my clothes and underwear, he collected them from me, and went out with them. I asked him where he was taking them to; he said he was taking them to his shop.

“Seconds later, he returned and he raped me. I was shouting inside the room, but no one seemed to hear me. When he was done, I asked for my clothes, but he said he would not release them unless he had one more round. As soon as I saw an opportunity, I took one of his wrappers, and forced my way out of his room.”

Comfort added that it was when she ran out of the room that one of Fasasi’s neighbours noticed and came to her rescue.

“When I got outside, I met a woman who was one of Fasasi’s neighbours. When she saw me, she understood what had happened and confronted him.”

A resident, who identified herself simply as Abiola, told our correspondents that one Singede usually bailed the suspect whenever he was arrested by the police.

She said, “A week after Fasasi was arrested, we saw him returning to his shop. They said he was arraigned in court, but he had been granted bail. Singede must have secured his bail as usual.”

Our correspondents gathered that the suspect, however, had yet to return Comfort’s clothes and underwear to her.

It was learnt from a source in Fasasi’s house that the suspect might have thrown the clothes away.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, Comfort’s mother urged the police to ensure that the suspect returned her daughter’s clothes.

She said, “I am afraid of what he might do with my daughter’s underwear. What does he want to do with her clothes? I have been worried since the day this incident happened.”

Our correspondents gathered that the rape incident was also reported to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team.

The DSVRT Coordinator, Mrs. Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, told PUNCH Metro that a request had been sent for the transfer of the case file to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

She said, “It was a non-governmental organisation that brought the matter to our attention. What we then did was to refer the victim to Mirabel Centre for proper treatment. We also made a report to the police to ensure that the suspect was arrested and charged to court.

“As we speak, the DPP has requested the case file to be forwarded to it. This is a case of alleged defilement, it will be prosecuted by the DPP.”

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, had yet to reply to a text message sent to her phone.

Rape everywhere

Wetin we wan use this picture you upload do biko? Na Fasisi be that?

Now whats his plan? Waiting for second round i guess......tailor tailor anyway 22yrs in jail no be beans oh!

Rape cases are just too much. Does it mean no day goes by without a sister being raped?



Modified: I don't want to believe what google will dig out there as statistics. I'm scared to check it out.

Rape cases come plenty... Does it mean these adults raping can't woo ladies or is just the minor them T.O.T.O they want...

Smh. Same rape stories unfolding everyday.

Yellow Bar.
The only amazing & hardworking tribe in Nigeria.

Useless man.

Bltches everywhere

Rape! Rape!! Rape!!!
Whats happening in this country?
If its not rape, its accident or rituals.

God protect us o!!!!

People wud lash me but its true -ever since May29, ba bad tins


LADY F wear r u o!!!

Nawa o


Here's my judgment....


Me: what's the rapist age
Crowd: the mumu is 45.... He's also...
Bartender: ORDER!!!!!!!
Me: what's the girl's age
Crowd: she's just in her prime age,16 My/our Lord
Me: here's my judgment,let the girl's age(16) be substituted form the man's age(45) to make 29
Crowd: kontinu my lord
Me: now,29 should be multiplied by 16... The rapist would go for the answers JAIL TERM
Bartender: court...

I'm beginning to think Nairaland operates based on themes. There are times when the focus is on snakes or crimes committed in Ibadan, or ice bucket challenge etc, I'm guessing this is the month for rape.

Nonetheless, any awareness about this topic is highly needed. Grown men no longer think about finding a lady, asking her out to dinner or taking her shopping and having consented sex anymore, they just want to forcefully have their way with minors and women and think they can get aware with it.

Ok

because of wat?

Kai.... These kain stories again?
People go scot free for rape here, that's why it will keep re-occuring....

MARK MY WORDS!

So sad! As long as rape cases remains bailable, the trends continues.......

Is this country becoming India

And later some will say it's cos of the revealing clothes or the way she talks that warranted the rape mtcheew. Sex starved idiaats everywhere. The heart wrecking part of this new trend of atrocity is they usually go for the minor.

I repeat again, the earlier we accept that something has gone wrong with most men of nowadays, the better for us

begged him, but he did not listen. I was scared that he would kill me, so I obeyed. But after removing my clothes and underwear, he collected them from me, and went out with them. I asked him where he was taking them to; he said he was taking them to his shop.

“Seconds later, he returned and he raped me. I was
shouting inside the room, but no one seemed to hear me.
When he was done, I asked for my clothes, but he said he
would not release them unless he had one more round. As
soon as I saw an opportunity, I took one of his wrappers,
and forced my way out of his room.”

This story don't really sound true. A 16 year old should be wiser than this . He made u take off ur clothes and went out with it and u stand there to wait ? There is no how she would scream out for help that she won't get it. Except she never wanted help.
.
Am not encouraging rape or anything. But don't be so quick to believe all these rape stories it may all be a mutual relationship gone bad.
.
Edited: all those quoting me and accusing me of what not . I am not supporting this man or rape or sex with a minor ..
Speaking generally ,The society is quick to condemn a man ACCUSED of rape even before hearing his side of the story. And even when he tells the truth no one believes him. Many are languishing in prison because of false accusations. the dignity of many men have gone down this way.
